I really like how it's coming along, here's some feedback for ya. The variation in loop; having the cart coming onto one wheel is a nice touch. Adding to that, I would make the wheels wobble a bit, like they are loosely connected to the axle. (Maybe just try by shifting the pivot point of each wheel slightly off-center to…
Having created the platform I still felt something was missing..........an environment! :) So I set about building one. The elements were created in Zbrush/3dsMax, and the scene assembled in 3dsMax. About 10% of the geo in the scene is kit-bashed from a Vitaly set and Zbrush IM brushes. The great thing about building a…
Hi Mark, Yes i did that but now i know why it doesn't work, point cache do not accept transform key like rotation, position or scale it have to be a modifier like morpher or cloth. I already know i could use bones to drive that cylinder but that was extra work instead of a simple rotation transform. Using bones all the fbx…
Bear in mind most shoulder deformations are due to bad joint placement and bad use of those joints. Shoulders can for example rotate no further than a 90 degree angle with your spine, the rest of the upward rotation pivots around the clavicle. Apart from that experiment with joint placement. As far as modeling is…
If I remember well I used a sphere with the proper uv layout centered at the origin. Then I created a bunch of quads with their uv unwrapped on the 'city light' texture coordinates, with their pivot at the origins, but lying above the sphere surface. This way you only need the rotate tool to move them around. The artists…
I learned Maya first then got into Max. Maybe it's because I was more self taught at Maya and had more instruction available with Max, but I give credit to Max for being the easier to use program. I probably would've been better off learning Max first. However, there's something cumbersome about navigating in the viewport…
Man, bombing this thread with joke images is kindof the most insecure shit ever, guys. You're artists, if you can't find a male figure/face beautiful without fearing you might have caught the homogay you should get into a different industry. Meanwhile, I keep seeing these washboard abs pretty boy types in this thread and i…
Thanks Creation, i'll have a look Pior, this is the executive summary. We're currently looking at the source engine due to greater manipulation of physics. But considering UT3 due to its greater rendering capabilities, graphics and the ease of which assets can be imported into the engine. 3rd Year Project Executive…
I hear the pedophile was a lot worse in the book as well. Have you read the book? I hear there were some important plot points that were removed from the original too, . If you've read the book, what are your thoughts on the movie as opposed to the book?
Yeah while it is amazing, I will admit that most of the time Adam Phillips cartoons end in an awkward state where you say to yourself, "is that it? Wasn't this leading to something?" He is leading toward a plot I think. He's mainly just developing characters at this point.
